UNSPSC 85521922: Drainage of hemiazygos vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of hemiazygos vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 059130Z

UNSPSC 85521922 Drainage of hemiazygos vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—reflect a pattern of misdirection or misclassification rather than procurement of the specific vascular drainage procedure the code nominally describes. State and local government procurement offices are applying this code to a broad set of health plan administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing services that fall outside any coherent relationship to percutaneous venous drainage procedures.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plan administrators (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code as currently tagged shows no recent substantive activity in actual vascular interventions or related medical device procurement; treating it as a meaningful taxonomy signal for business development in state and local procurement carries substantial classification risk.
